When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.

Mastery is not a question of genetics of luck, but of following your natural inclinations and the deep desires that stirs you from within.

There's no more of an excuse for blaming other people or the world for at least not trying what you should be trying.

When it comes to mastering a skill, time is the magic ingredient.

The human tongue is a beast that few can master.
